Piping for z/OS
zPipe is a piping facility for z/OS. It's available on CBT Tape file1035 on the updates page. https://www.cbttape.org/updates.htm The CBT file contains fuller code and more modules than in the presentation below. Here is the presentation about it. https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1C7htK9I4rL-4pUZcdhfeA4-IY2Kjxm-HJQ4fuljMs3I/edit?usp=sharing OREXXMan Q: What do you call the residence of the ungulate with the largest antlers? A: A moose pad. :-D Would you rather pass data in move mode (*nix piping) or locate mode (Pipes) or via disk (JCL)? Why do you think you rarely see *nix commands with more than a dozen filters, while Pipelines specifications are commonly over 100s of stages, and 1000s of stages are not uncommon.

Re: ZFS Address Space, shared ENQ but filesystem isn't mounted
Personally, I was hoping there'd be more benefit, rather than just the zOSMF startup time. Was hoping OMVS STC itself would show reduced MSU somehow (than OMVS + zFS as it were). Or at least a significant EXCP drop. - KB --- Original Message --- On Friday, January 6th, 2023 at 12:16 AM, Ed Jaffe wrote: > On 1/5/2023 4:34 AM, Patrick Loftus wrote: > > > Interested to know more about that recommendation for zOSMF, as the zFS > > manuals indicate since v2r3 it's beneficial to move zFS back to OMVS > > address space. > > https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos/2.4.0?topic=zfs-running-in-zos-unix-address-space > > > We moved our zFS function back to OMVS last year (as recommended).
